West Indies ready for India

Oct 24, 2006

After suffering a humiliating loss against Sri Lanka in the qualifiers, they picked up their game to pull off a huge upset against Australia.
And now, they are up against a team they have beaten six times in their last 10 games and 21 out of the 33 times they have played in India.
Brian Lara's back might be hurting since the last game against Australia, but he is expected to return on Thursday.
The West Indies, however, are not giving anything away about his position in the batting order.
If the Windies beat India in their game on Thursday, they would be considered the favourites against England on Saturday and be all but through to the last four.
India team (from): R Dravid (Captain), Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Yuvraj Singh, Mohd Kaif, Suresh Raina, Dinesh Mongia, Mahendra Dhoni, Irfan Pathan, Ajit Agarkar, Harbhajan Singh, Munaf Patel, Rudra Pratap Singh, Romesh Powar.
West Indies team (from) : Brian Lara (Captain), Ramnaresh Sarwan, Chris Gayle, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Runako Morton, Dwayne Bravo, Dwayne Smith, Carlton Baugh (Wicket Keeper), Fidel Edwards, Ian Bradshaw, Jerome Taylor, Marlon Samuels, Wavell Hinds.
